Aircraft on Ground or AOG is a term in aviation maintenance indicating that a problem is serious enough to prevent an aircraft from flying. Generally there is a rush to acquire the parts to put the aircraft back into service, and prevent further delays / cancellations of the planned itinerary. DHL estimates that an AOG can cost as much 925,000 Euro per day. AOG applies to any aviation materials or spare parts that are needed immediately for an aircraft to return to service. AOG suppliers refer qualified personnel and dispatch the parts required to repair the aircraft for an immediate return to service. AOG also is used to describe critical shipments for parts or materials for aircraft 'out of service' or OTS at a location.
As you can see, the Aerospace industry is a high stakes game and getting whatever part that is keeping the plane on the ground as fast as possible is of the highest importance. M-RED Logistics provides trained and certificated Cargo Operative Drivers (prev Level D) for Known Cargo clearance.
